@ trolling...man you guys get butt hurt very quick....if you felt this version of iphone was very exciting (except the publicity) then i honestly pity you....you definitely need to wake the fuck up....
all companies have a 21 day trial period....go out there, get an S4/N4/1x...give it an honest attempt and then come back to say I was trolling....most of you have never used an Android device....just played it with in the store and went "ewww" like a little school girl....try it out, if you feel the iphone 5c/5s is more advanced, fuck, I will give you 100 bucks to get that plastic phone....
MOST of the people who have tried and given the Android phones an honest attempt have not gone back to the iphone....
I was looking forward to this event, but as the previous 2-3 events, am disappointed....
Sarlacc....sorry buddy, I just got in a silly mood....
am not a hater, am just disappointed....I was really hoping to see something new....I know you did mentioned something new doesnt not mean innovating on every device...but i dont think there has been anything new (other than upgraded camera and shooting modes) in the previous 3 years (make it 4, hoping the iPhone6 will come out with something nice)....

The touch sensor that can read sub -dermal at 360 degrees and not only secure your phone but allow you to make purchases without a password...if thats not innovative then you really dont understand the what the word means.
the camera sensor is 15% larger...that is actually a big deal...megapixels mean nothing in the end if the sensor isn't up to par...the fact they were able ti increase the sensor size based on the location of their lens is REALLY nice....as well as getting the aperture from a 2.4 to a 2.2...
The camera features are nice...nothing new there.
The dual tone LED...could be a big thing. I hate flash photography...esepcially on phones and consumer products because of the off color balance...this potentially corrects that and actually makes it usable.
I mean really...get your head out of your ass.

another thing missing is connectivity to low power bluetooth devices....
burst photo/best photo, meh....
yeah the Touch ID I like....will I use it, probably not, but its "cool"....the 64 bit processor was a good upgrade as well....
Im surprised apple didnt announce their trade in program.

Like I've said I've used android...several times...I can't stand it.
So, are you gonna sack up and paypal me $100 bucks now? I bet you don't because you're full of shit.
I can sight SEVERAL examples of people I know.
Nope. That is a false blanket statement. You only need to look at past Apple event days from a few years ago to see the difference. This is the market reacting to a disappointment. Already had to get rid of some stock before it free falls even more.
disappointed? The speed increases alone are huge. The additional motion chip is a big deal.

No...its not. I own stock. I've been paying attention to this for years. At major keynotes and shareholder announcements the price of the stock goes down. And comes back up in a couple days.

take a laptop to a sell phone to a damn PS or Xbox....every new model, will have that....the iphone 5c doesnt, which is just telling people, hey we took the iphone 5 and threw a new colored wrapper on it....and selling it back to you for more $$$.....
yes the aperture was a decent add on....nothing innovative here....there are phones out there which are cheaper with better camera's....
as I mentioned, if you feel this phone is an upgrade, you might as well wear a tshirt reading "Leave APPLE alone" .....trust me, I will oblige....

again, if you read my original post, you will have to buy the iphone 5c with that....do buy a matching color to your crocs though
I own stock too and I completely disagree with you. Won't argue with you, but I've done very well with my team and will continue to do so. Was just saying that your blanket statement is false.
Sure...maybe people enjoy it just fine once they spend the time to get it all customized...but what a hassle and a half...and going through the giant pain to get it sync with an apple.
Not worth the headache IMO.
I state this as my opinion and always have...if you want to use android be my guest...I dont on you for it like some people here have a penchant for doing.
"Apple Stock Hits New Record Following iPhone 5 Announcement"

And I stand by my statement.
I did use NFC quite a bit in my car to activate driving mode, etc. Now I use a BT trigger when the car starts up.
Then why is the headline from last year...?

It's unusual to see Apple's stock spike following an iPhone announcement. In the past few years, the stock typically rises in the week leading up to the announcement, but then drops in the days after.
ding ding ding
The carriers neutering of Google Wallet is largely to blame. Too busy trying to get their own shitty system off the ground (it's been like five years) so they block the installation of Wallet. It's one of the main reasons I was excited for NFC, however I've never been able to pay for anything.

Yes....we need a picture of you with todays newspaper holding up the cellphone company contract and an S4 today....after 21 days, if you return the S4, I will paypal you $100...

Like I said you are full of shit. We had this debate, when it was an actual debate, and I've stated my use of android, why I dont like it, and why the iphone works for me.
I dont need to buy a S4...when I have easy access to the android devices I already don't like using.
Don't make statements you arent actually willing to back up (and you aren't)
No they are not. The OS interfaces are completely different. I find android to be unintuitive and giant mess. I don't enjoy using it...and I've used several different version including the newest galaxy tablet.
Sure...maybe people enjoy it just fine once they spend the time to get it all customized...but what a hassle and a half...and going through the giant pain to get it sync with an apple.

I switched over from Apple on my phone because the screen was too small. I don't have a problem with the OS, as I just went from a 10" Touchpad with Android to an iPad Mini. Both OS have their merits and demerits.
Not super impressed and honestly it's hard to go from one year to the next and be like holy cow it's a must upgrade. I think the first iPhones warranted it because of key features like 3G, video, and a whole different look from 3GS to 4. But the last few haven't impressed me. I'd likely go from a 4 to a 5s for sure if I stuck with Apple but I preferred the features, OS, and lack of iTunes of my Note 2. But I def won't be going to Note 3.







Suckers. Waited for nothing.
Probably not.
